The iPhone 7 is still selling better than the Galaxy S8

After the scandalous figure of 5 million smartphones sold, the new Samsung Galaxy S8 ** looked like it was going to be an undisputed leader in the sector market, but a recent report indicates the opposite ...

The latest research data reveals that the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are currently the two best selling devices during the first quarter of 2017 in the United States.

Combined, both terminals (7 and 7 Plus) have been made with a market share of 20.1% . While the new Galaxy S8 have remained at 8.1%. Very surprising data, bearing in mind that the iPhone 7 takes almost a year to sell.

Consumers still prefer the iPhone 7 before the Galaxy S8

The data have been collected by Kantar Worldpanel, which calculated Samsung's sales numbers between January and May . Apple launched the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in September, while Samsung marketed the Galaxy S8 in April.

From Kantar Worldpanel suggest that Samsung could have a very serious problem. And all this despite the fact that its new terminals are far superior to the iPhone 7 . Both at the design level and at the hardware level. However, it seems that they do not end up convincing consumers in the United States . We'll see what happens in the other countries, where Android predominates.

Interestingly, other smartphone makers have also seen how their sales have been falling in the United States. This is the case of Android brands like Samsung, LG and Moto .

"SAMSUNG GALAXY S8, LAUNCHED IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF THE APRIL PERIOD, HAS NOT SHOWN A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S SALES, NOR HAS THE LG G6."

Samsung is not doing very well in America, but Apple is not doing much better in Asia. The Cupertino firm has seen how iOS market share has dropped to 16.2% over last year.
